Box Score

FERRUM, Va. - The Meredith College basketball team dropped Saturday's USA South game at Ferrum 65-49. Scoring just 19 points in the first half, the Avenging Angels were unable to fend off the Panthers.

Head Coach Melinda Campbell played nine players during the first half to try and find a successful combination, but all eight scorers hit just one field goal apiece during the period.

Rookie Gabi Jessup hit four three-pointers in the second half, but the Avenging Angels were unable to overcome the 17-point first-period deficit.

The Panther defense held Meredith's triple threat offense of Jessi Hayes, Danielle Lee and Brittaney Rice to just 13 points combined in order to secure the victory.

Jessup's career-high 12 points led the Meredith offense, and Lee grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds to tie her career-high recorded earlier this season. Raven Gregory finished with six points, six rebounds, and Diana Owens picked up a trio of steals in the loss.

Ferrum's Jacole Hairston led all with 20 points, and Lindsay Martin scored 10, including a perfect five-of-five from the free throw line.
